A GARDEN BAROMETER.-One of
the simplest Of barometers is a spi-
der's web. When there is q prospect
of rain or wind, the spider shortens
the tilaments from which its web is
suspended, and leaves things in this
state as long as the weather is varia-
bic. If the insect elongates its threads,
it is sign of fine, calm weather, the
duration of which may be judged Of
by the length to which the threads are
let out. If the spider remains mac
tive, it is sign of rain; but if, OH the
contrary, it keeps at work during a
rain, the latter will not last long, and
will be followed by fine weather.
Other observations have taught that
the spider makes changes in its web
every twenty-four hours, and that if
such changes are made in the even
ing, just before sunset, the night will
he clear and beautiful. Mature.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 10, 1887.
The Presidents Message.

The New York Tribune was the only
prominent daily in the entire country to fault
the Presidents message, and this groundess
cavilling was SO transparent that it tended
rather, to strengthen the message in the
minds of the readers than otherwise.
A few regulation Republican pa, ers are
80 afflicted by partisan blindness that they
any good in democratic suggestions, and in
this class the effete New York Tribune is a
conspicuous figure
Mr.. Cleveland's plea for reduced tariff
is both ingenious aud fnrcible. His argu
ments are calculated to make profound i'm
precision on the country, whatever be the
effect on Congress.
1t quite plain that the message is the
product of a conference among leading
Democrats, and that it is designed to serve
as the chief campaign document of 1888. Il
VI De true that Mr. Randall, who is reported
to be now full of the spirit of compromise
has had hand in it the fact is significant
and would foresbadow the incorporation o
the Presidents views in a successful Hous
bill. As to the probable action of the Sen
ate in such a case that would be a matte
for pure speculation. At all events, it is al
assumed fact that the Democrats have take
opportunity by the forelock and raised IL
cry of surplus reduction aud a moderate tai
iff as their campaign shibboleth.
In doing this the average observer wi
readily conclude that the Democrats hav
shrewdly put themselves on high vantag
ground.
